Project Objectives:
The primary goal of the project is to address the challenges of next generation
mobile wireless communication through an integrated approach involving
antennas, receiver structures, and network design. Specifically, the project
proposes to develop techniques for managing and exploiting the complex
and time varying nature of a wireless communication channel, while meeting
the power and bandwidth constraints of mobiles, base stations, and networks.
The project emphasizes integration of digital receivers for multiaccess
communication with smart antennas and dynamic resource allocation.
Three key issues to be addressed in this project are:
-
Design of high frequency, high bandwidth radiating and receiving antenna
which is agile in space, time, and polarization
-
Design of multiaccess receivers which exploit available modes of diversity
-
Dynamic resource allocation of channel and network resources for meeting
the quality of service of ongoing communications
Another key element of this project is the integration of student and faculty
research activities at three universities: Univesity of Wisconsin-Madison,
University of Colarado-Boulder, and Eurecom in France.
